I've heard this meme about how because humans caused something, that humans can fix it. That's patently false. Like, entropy is a thing. Humans can't un-murder, un-rape, un-burn, un-eat, etc.
Now, I've heard this in reference to things caused by large groups like climate change and structural racial inequity. The thing is, people caused such things in more or less their default modes of being selfish, covetous, and disregarding remote people and places. There are, for sure, active components to the causes that got us where we, nominally, don't want to be but it's not given that it'll take the same effort to reverse course either politically or mechanically

@2ck I think the failing in this whole narrative is the fallacy of singular causes... For every effect there are an infinite number of causes, no one any more "the" cause than any other. So right from the get go the logic falls apart as it assumes a statement like "humans caused it" has any real relevance other than being one of an infinite links in a chain.
@2ck If un-murdering were an option, things would be a lot simpler.
